Lisa Frankfort

Biography A twice published nonfiction author, I am polishing my novel "Exit, Pursued By Bear" in order to seek agent representation. I work in the field of psychology which is the subject of my self help books and informs my literary fiction. My fiction usually explores how we hide who we are from others, and from ourselves. Sometimes consciously, sometimes not.

Upcoming Works

  • Exit, Pursued By Bear

    Trevor is twenty-nine, in his last year at a third rate theatre school outside London. Charming, funny, talented, he’s the most popular student at school. He’s also on his fifth career try, but who’s counting? And he won’t commit where he’s not assured of success – whether a career, or a lover. Or himself. Not a problem. Until an illicit, sexually consuming affair threatens everything Trevor thought he cared nothing about. Exit, Pursued By Bear addresses the way we regularly mistake the dancer for the dance, the actor for the role, and the way our snap judgments and preconceptions cause us to mete out casual cruelties in our closest relationships. And that true intimacy is the greatest risk of all.
